Abstract
Restoring a Fractured Central Incisor: A Challenge to Overcome
Highlights
Restoring a single central incisor should aim at preserving the affected tooth as well as re-establishing function and esthetic

Achieving a natural mimicry of the single maxillary central incisor restoration with the adjacent dentition is a real challenge
Summary
The maxillary central incisors have an effect on the visual aspect of a person either positively or negatively. Knowing that the patient’s expectations in this case are normally very high, this integration of the restored central tooth is more challenging for both the clinician and the ceramist. A provisional composite was realized, providing immediate esthetic satisfaction This was reliable short-term restoration of the crownroot fractured tooth during healing period and recovery of the periodontium (Figures 1 & 2) [16]. It may be the most difficult tooth to fabricate due to the association of many variables such as mesmerism, individual characterizations and variations in lighting and illumination type [11,13] If not regarded, they all contribute to reducing predictability of providing the desired shade [1,20,16]. At the end of the treatment, the patient was pleased with the results and no longer hides her smile (Figure 7)
